Blue Ocean Strategy : Starbucks• Starbucks sold a retailing concept: the coffee bar, offering relaxation and conversation, and drinks made with quality beans, frothy and flavored milks, creams, syrups and ices. While $3 for a cup of Starbucks coffee is outrageous compared with the cost of a cup of instant coffee at home, consumers did not see it that way. They judged Starbucks as an indulgence, so the steep price appeared good value for money. Starbucks turned the coffee industry on its head by shifting its focus from commodity coffee sales to the emotional atmosphere in which customers enjoy their coffee. With almost no advertising, Starbucks became an international brand with margins roughly five times the industry average.

It simply made it more popular !!! !• Starbucks began in 1971 when three academics—English teacher Jerry Baldwin, history teacher Zev Siegel, and writer Gordon Bowker—opened a store called Starbucks Coffee, Tea, and Spice in the touristy Pikes Place Market in Seattle. Starbucks has since then increased to over 13,000 stores nationwide.

How has Starbucks been so successful?• Customer service has always been a high priority with Starbucks. It is why a manager or assistant manager at a Starbucks receives at least 80 hours of training and a barista receives 40 hours of training before they are allowed to make drinks without supervision.• CEO, Howard Schultz, figured out how to attract, motivate, and reward store employees in a manner that would make Starbucks a company that people would want to work for and that would result in higher levels of performance. Moreover, Schultz wanted to cement the trust that had been building between management and the company’s workforce. In 1995, Starbucks implemented an employee stock purchase plan. Eligible employees could contribute up to 10 percent of their base earnings to quarterly purchases of the company’s common stock at 85 percent of the going stock price. The total number of shares that could be issued under the plan was 4 million. After the plan’s creation, nearly 200,000 shares were issued; just over 2,500 of the 14,600 eligible employees participated.

As a result, Starbucks has achieved elite brand recognition that of Coca Cola.

Kim’s thought about Starbucks’ success• Kim said Starbucks’ success is not entirely because of the coffee sold at its locations. That company took the idea of a “mom and pop” coffee shop and combined it with the comfort of a modern hotel lobby such as a Marriott. While the mom and pop coffee shop might sell good coffee, the patrons who go there are mostly truckers who are not interested in having conversations, he said. But in the lobby of a modern hotel, it is much easier to start a conversation; therefore Starbucks combined good coffee with comfortable, friendly locations to sell coffee, he said. While it is true that Starbucks sells coffee, “what they are really selling is atmosphere,” he said. By changing the atmosphere in which coffee is sold, Starbucks created an uncontested market and made the competition irrelevant, he said. Starbucks “created and captured new demand,” he said.
